Will the Socceroos be there? Only time will tell. After scraping through with a 2-1 extra-time win over Syria, Australia now face Honduras in the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ Intercontinental Playoff (CONCACAF-Asian zone). The result of these matches (one away, one at home) will decide which team heads to Russia next June.

Update - 16 November: After their epic 3-1 win over Honduras on Weds 15 November, the 'Roos have now cemented their place in Russia! Congratulations to Mile and the team.

Ts & Cs

Optus Sport: Personal viewing in Australia only. Content and features vary by device and sport. Sport coverage is available as long as you remain on an eligible plan and Optus has the rights. Optus Sport is a month-to-month subscription, which will continue until you cancel your subscription or you move to an ineligible plan. An Optus Sport subscription is included at no extra cost on eligible mobile and home broadband plans. Where your plan includes Optus Sport at no additional cost, your bill will show a $15 charge and corresponding credit

I'm afraid that it's not something that'll be available in time for the World Cup. I know we initially had plans to roll out an Optus Sport application specifically for use on certain models of Smart TV's but it's not something that we're actively working on at this time. Optus Sport is currently available for use on a number of media playback devices, including Chrome cast, Fetch and Apple TV.

Heya @world2018, are you an existing Optus customer or were you keen on subscribing to our stand-alone subscription service?

It’s super easy to watch the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ on your laptop or computer via the Optus Sport online media player. Just head to the Optus Sport website, log in with your Optus Sport credentials and start streaming.
